Are we shocked, that a university is virtue-signalling against Trump? Not really. From The Other McCain: God and Man at UW-Madison
A McCain offspring is graduating from UW-Madison's law school. Congrats. There are perks to that.
But this is mostly about the insanity that is a university campus in a Midwestern State.
The Mediterranean Cafe is nice, and I recommend the Roti Chicken. What I do not recommend, however, is university faculty surrendering to Trump Derangement Syndrome, as is the case in Wisconsin.
The faculty and staff are bent out of shape because the Trump administration is threatening to enforce laws, and court cases, outlawing discrimination, even if Wisconsin is not discriminating in that way.
Talk about “climbing up on the cross”! So eager are these academics to be seen as martyrs of “government overreach and political interference” that they’ve joined a “Mutual Defense Compact” to defend against a threat that would seem to be entirely hypothetical, if not indeed imaginary. Has the Trump administration so far taken even a nickel of federal funding away from UW-Madison? And if UW-Madison is not tolerating “antisemitic harassment and discrimination,” what have they got to worry about? It’s just a symbolic “resistance” gesture.
Read the whole thing.
